Francis Bacon 1st Viscount St. Alban (22 January 1561 – 9 April 1626), was an English philosopher, statesman, scientist, jurist, orator, essayist, and author. Bacon has been called the father of empiricism. The Baconian theory of Shakespearean authorship holds that Sir Francis Bacon wrote the plays, which were publicly attributed to William Shakespeare. Bacon was the first alternative candidate suggested as the true author of Shakespeare's plays. The theory was first put forth in the mid-nineteenth century, based on perceived correspondences between the philosophical ideas found in Bacon’s writings and the works of Shakespeare. Legal and autobiographical allusions and cryptographic ciphers and codes were later found in the plays and poems to buttress the theory.
Some of the more notable works by Bacon include:

• Essays (1st ed., 1597)
• The Advancement and Proficience of Learning Divine and Human (1605)
• Essays (2nd edition – 38 essays, 1612)
• Novum Organum Scientiarum ('New Method', 1620)
• Essays, or Counsels Civil and Moral (3rd/final edition – 58 essays, 1625)
• New Atlantis (1627)

Barnabe Barnes (c. 1571–1609), was an English poet. He is known for his Petrarchan love sonnets and for his combative personality, involving feuds with other writers and culminating in an alleged attempted murder.
In 1591 he went to France with the earl of Essex, who was then serving against the prince of Parma. On his return he published Parthenophil and Parthenophe, Sonnettes, Madrigals, Elegies and Odes (ent. on Stationers' Register 1593). John Cox suggests that it is linked to the unfolding conflict between the Earl of Essex and Queen Elizabeth, in which Parthenophe stands for Elizabeth: "Since Parthenophe means virgin Barnes's dream seems unavoidably political, and the stance of frustrated expectation, occasioned by an unyielding and unapproachable female, seems appropriate to one of Essex's party in the early 1590s."
Barnes's second work, A Divine Centurie of Spirituall Sonnetts, appeared in 1595. He also wrote two plays:— The Devil's Charter (1607), a tragedy dealing with the life of Pope Alexander VI, which was played before the king; and The Battle of Evesham (or Hexham), of which the manuscript, traced to the beginning of the 18th century, is lost.
